103. Long lines at Baker School in Austin.

Mar 2016

It took two hours to get to the voting checkin.

There was but one laptop for everyone to check in - Republicans and Dems alike.

It was hot and smelly and there was even a crying baby to make it all perfect.

It was like they weren't expecting, you know, voters to show up.
